    Yep, (almost) everytime I am contemplating crashing the car I decide not to because of the impact it would have on my insuance premium....

    I generally decide not to crash my car because it could hurt.

    In other news I have got 18 months free broadband with talk talk after threatening to leave. :D

    Do you eat crisps or chocolate or perhaps drink to excess on occasion?

    I can tell from experience, cancer is jolly painful.

    I bet you wear a seat belt, avoid speeding and don't tailgate because there will be a direct financial consequence to you.

    Another chocolate bar? Meh.

    Yes, I agree with you G.

    Edit. I don't tail gait because its rude and other drivers are unpredictable. I don't speed because of the law....so financial consequences. But there are times when on open roads and at not lirgoslow brain day I would drive faster in right car / weather/ road conditions. And yeah, I often forget to wear a seat belt driving in our fields or would not when on private land. But...one shares the roads with prats so its best to....even if you are confident of your own ability some silly sausage might just drive into you.

    Ok, so I know I am not into anything techy in the least. But I want these I think

    http://surround-speaker.theshoppad.com/#/product/digital-habits-cromatica

    The techy things don't bother me. Its the colour possibilities and ability to make the senses work together...something more important to me. I struggle enjoying music a lot increasingly, ( although no one considers it important...inc me, I mean, that hardly hurts!, I think it a issue and i think this might help try and join some dots in areas of appreciation. Or not. :).

    I think I put them on a want list for next year.

    As well as fabulous neighbours, this week has shown me I have some awesome friends.
    Some things in life are important. Others just seem like it at the time :)

    Hope all is as ok as possible with PN and family. Been thinking of you x

    I was just thinking earlier we hadn't seen much of you this week - are you heading to the island?
    I think....

    Sometimes I can be quiet :)
    Had a bit of a day of it yesterday (understatement). But life could be worse. Or not at all. So things are good. I'm still a lucky bunny.

    Errr... island? I guess I'm on an island, but it's the same one I'm normally on?

    Ah ha, nope. It was Bestival I went to (in Sept, and more dancey than rocky/ poppy). Just the usual island for me this weekend.
    I've been talking about an island today though. Cuba :)
